DD, true. I don't even feel European. But you see, for Americans you have to say 'I'm European'.. if I say 'I'm Finnish' they say 'what did you have?'.

Get it straight... it's MINION, not lackeyOriginally posted by VetLegion
Come out you cowardly lackey mod who did it!
Oh, and yeah, I deleted them... and there were some "discussions" via PM on the topic
But back on topic...
As far as the debate goes, Cheney scored the first victory already by having the format a "sit down" vs a standing one. Edwards legal experience makes him FAR more effective standing vs sitting... The political experts this morning on the radio were pretty positive that this will work in Cheney's favor...Keep on Civin'

physical posture is really that decisive in a debate?Comment

It was my thought that they went with sitting because standing that long would be hard on Cheney's health. Maybe there are two prongs to it though.Originally posted by Geronimo

Anyhow, I still think that Rumsfeld's and Bremer's comments within the last 24 hours or so that Edwards has been given a nice advantage there. It can still go either way though, but I will cross my fingers for Edwards.

Decisive... no way. But Cheney needs all the help he can get...

Sitting will help Cheney big time. I don't know how much people remember about the 2000 VP debate, but it made it look more friendly and Cheney seemed like a nice, affable guy.
I think think Cheney wins big. He just knows a ton more about policy than Edwards.“I give you a new commandment, that you love one another. Just as I have loved you, you also should love one another. By this everyone will know that you are my disciples, if you have love for one another.”

Cheney is a really smart guy. You may not agree with his conclusions, but he definately has the gray matter.Originally posted by Imran Siddiqui

Why would anybody overseas watch this? I probably won't. It's not very important to the race most of the time.I came upon a barroom full of bad Salon pictures in which men with hats on the backs of their heads were wolfing food from a counter. It was the institution of the "free lunch" I had struck. You paid for a drink and got as much as you wanted to eat. For something less than a rupee a day a man can feed himself sumptuously in San Francisco, even though he be a bankrupt. Remember this if ever you are stranded in these parts. ~ Rudyard Kipling, 1891Comment

Because we are interested about happenings outside our country. It's not all about hernekeitto, mämmi and knives.

I'm going to play a drinking game... drink for every one of Cheney's heart attacks during the debate.To us, it is the BEAST.Comment

To get back to the subject at hand, I'm actually looking forward to this debate just as much as the Bush/Kerry one. Not because it's equally important (obviously it isn't) but because I've read and heard much more about Edwards than I've actually seen for myself.
The fact that the debate doesn't commence before 03:00 still bothers me a great deal though. Hopefully I'll have the willpower that is necessary to stay awake until then.Comment
